Chicken leek and sweet potato oven-dish

Chicken, leek and sweet potato casserole

To me this is the ultimate comfort food recipe…but it is also the perfect energy bomb – a combination of slow, fiber-rich carbohydrates, strengthening proteins (necessary to build our bones and muscles) and healthy fats! Fiber-rich carbs are the preferred food of our good gut bacteria. Loads of good gut bacteria make a healthy gut!!  Well, the sweet potato, carrots, leeks and onions are the ideal benefactors of our gut.

Chicken Musakhan my way, simple and delicious

This dish is originally from Palestina. The basic ingredients are chicken, red onion, Sumac, served on flatbread (which I’m leaving out). Since I’m always looking to add vegetables to each and every dish, I did the same with this one…and I think the ideal vegetable to complete my quick version of Musakah is: the eggplant.

Asian vegetable stir fry

This is a classic … for us at home anyway. We eat this dish at least once a week. I always make a big pan (and I secretly hope there will be some left over for the day after) but still we manage to eat everything”Although this dish is simple and easy to prepare …..the Asian touch makes it special!
